Art Of Inspiration: Keep Running. Of Course

Pride, vanity, an addiction to endorphins, good habits, the will to survive–all these things keep you young and going back to the gym, or the cricket pitch, or the rowing club, or the squash court, or the bike, or the neon running shoes. 

Keep your body hard while others let their bodies grow soft does something to you. Rack up enough hours on the ergometer, the treadmill, or hefting those weights and you start believing you are immortal. 

There are three ages of physical exercise. First, you do it for fun. Then you do it for fitness (wanting to make the most of what God gave you). And finally you do it to stay alive (wanting to watch your kids grow up). 

Find a reason to keep that ticker fit and keep growing naturally young.

Laughter Is The Face Of Summer

Sun, swimming, surfing and running. Who could ask for anything more? Should the beach get to be just too blissful, there's a land mass to satisfy the land lover in you.

This Is What Awesome Looks Like: Replenish From Within

Florida is home to many different nationalities of people, some who came when it was still a wild and sometimes unforgiving wilderness. Florida changed and developed into what it is today, an area rich with history, eccentricity, escapism and esoteric dreaminess. Florida is a lush world of tropical adventure to those who visit and a special exotic paradise to those who are lucky enough to stay.

Refreshing Florida Pastels: Life At Our Waterfront Plantation

Sunny, humid and filled with pastel homes–we are having an outstanding time at our villa in Florida. Cadence enjoys running on the beach with Daddy and then swimming in our private pool.

The Real Deal: Two Year Old Flies First Class To Florida For Spring Vaca

Flying first class to Florida for vacation–we onboard the US Airways plane earlier than regular passengers and had ample room in our seats for Cadence to play. There was gargantuan space for his trucks, books, legos, snacks and play. The food in first class is way better and the air hostess serving us was also exceptional. We met a Duke University varsity oarsman who was seated in an adjacent row and a Boston University varsity lacrosse player–collectively we had interesting conversations. We are flying first class from here.

 

ALIVE: Living Unplugged

Being fit and healthy makes me feel alive. There's nothing like the endorphins from being fit and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with erging for 30 minutes and running 6.5 miles uphill nearly every day. The natural opiates sure beat drinking and almost anything else artificial out there. I live a very full-on life. 

When I come to the ocean as seen here on Pescadero beach and hiking trail, I recharge my batteries. All of us have to find time to look after our bodies. That helps us make sure our mind is sharp. Keeping fit and healthy is the best thing ever. And trying to make sure your family is fit and healthy. As a family we participate in the Big Sur 1/2 Marathon (1 hr 30 mintues for 13.1 miler) and the Bay2Breakers (50 minutes for 7.5 miler) every year.
